Great experience during Christmas time. The hotel was decorated beautifully. Highly suggest making reservations in advance. The room was amazing, loved the tv in the bathroom. The mattress was not comfortable at all, my husband almost resorted to the floor but ended up turning horizontal across the bottom of the bed and it was slightly better. We will definitely return but maybe with a mattress topper!

Our stay at The Jefferson in Richmond was simply wonderful. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel amenities are exceptional, the atmosphere is elegant and welcoming, and the attention to detail truly stands out.
The restaurant was outstanding, and breakfast was absolutely delicious — one of the highlights of our stay. Every detail contributed to an unforgettable experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would absolutely return.
